Dangerous Pollutant PCB: Those Harmed May Qualify For a Lawsuit

Read more here about PCBs and whether you may file a lawsuit for any injuries you may have had because of being exposed to PCBs. 

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is the name given to a mixture of over 200 chlorinated compounds.  PCBs can be oily liquids or solids that are colorless to light yellow, and some can exist as vapors in the air. PCBs have no known smell or taste.

PCBs have been used as coolants and lubricants in electrical appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners, florescent lights, as well as other electrical equipment, because they are good insulators. In 1977, the manufacture of PCBs was stopped in the United States because of the harmful health effects.

Exposure to PCBs can lead to a variety of health problems such as chloracne, liver damage, birth defects, and cancer.

If you have been hurt by PCBs, a lawyer can help you file a PCB lawsuit and sue those responsible for PCB contamination.
